How Would Santa Know Where to Put the Presents?

We recently put up our dear old Christmas tree. It's a decade old so it is indeed old.

As we were doing the decorations, jokingly, I told my son, EJ

You know, we don't need to always put this tree up every year. It's tiring isn't it? Maybe we should just pack it up and put it away, huh.

EJ turned around and asked in a shocked mode,

Huh? But, Mommy, how would Santa know where to put the presents then?

I replied,

Don't worry. He knows what to do.

I don't want to upset him so I added,

Remember what he does in that Santa Claus film?

EJ said,

Oh yeah.

Then we went back to work decorating for Christmas.

How long are we going to play this charade? Well, I don't really want to say anything else about this matter because I want my son to remain a kid, full of hopes and dreams, as I remain a kid at heart.

But I wonder, what do you tell your children about Santa Claus then?
